Drudensang - Verborgene Riten, killer black metal from Germany 2017
Kilta - Ikuisuuden Pylväät, (Pillars of Eternity) Finland. Folky and melodic, and a little slow getting started, I almost bailed on it, but then it got good. That was earlier this afternoon, now I'm back for another round.
This is the wall of noise production you typically get on these things nowadays. And I'm OK with it, or I've become used to it at least. I guess because this type of black metal (raw, aggressive, younger no-name bands) is my bread and butter, I listen to a ton of shit just like this. If I disqualified everything with les than ideal production there wouldn't be much left. While certainly not filthy, this one doesn't stand out to me as particularly clean though, so I'm cool with it.

Great album. I really dig the vocalist and the punchy riffing. If only the production was a bit less clean but take that as a me problem 🤪

Yannis gave a Damn to FatherAlabaster in Music that shivers me timbers
The first one that always comes to mind is the last few lines of "Comfortably Numb". Even just reading the lyrics makes me choke up a bit. It's how I feel all the time. It's the lyrics that do it though, it's not the music by itself.
Swans - "Why Are We Alive", specifically the version on Various Failures, because for some stupid reason they left the best part of the song out of the album version. It starts around 3:51 but if you skip the rest of the song to get there (or if you're not me) it probably won't sound too special. And skipping to the "payoff" would make you a shitty person. Nobody wants that.
The part when the music kicks in more after the first verse in Rush's "Witch Hunt", around 2:17 (I bet even Goatmaster might be able to dig this song, but who knows):
The chord changes behind the vocal melody that first happens about 2 minutes into Blut Aus Nord's "Henosis":
The medieval choral piece "Mundus vergens" as sung by Lionheart (the vocal ensemble, not the band):
"Black Rose Immortal" and "Moonlapse Vertigo" by Opeth... both have some of my favorite sections, don't need to post those.
The part when Aaron says "turn loose the swans" on MDB's "Turn Loose The Swans" from the album Turn Loose The Swans:
The first time Glen Benton says "once upon the cross" in the Deicide song "Once Upon The Cross" from their album Once Upon The Cross (admittedly this worked better on me when I was 16 but it still rules):
This recording of the traditional Gower Wassail, I grew up with this on tape and I feel like a kid for a moment every time I hear it:
(and yeah, we do already have this thread, what thread don't we have somewhere - it's called "songs that affect you" and I think it's in this section - but a new one is fine, most everybody that posted there is long gone)

Departure Chandelier - Antichrist Rise to Power, Montréal/NY 2019
Gryftigaen - Graven til Måneåpenbaringer, lo-fi atmo-black Chile 2020, when only fuzzy lo-fi black metal will scratch that itch.
Saw Charon and I got all excited because I assumed you meant these guys. But it didn't take very long to figure out that must be a different Charon. So I looked it up, M-A lists 11 bands named Charon. Yours is apparently the Finnish heavy/gothic metal one that split up in 2011. Mine's the German blackened death one.
Charon - Sulphur Seraph (The Archon Principle) Germany 2012

Kankar - Dunkle Millennia, Germany. Yeah I'm digging this one.
Звёздный Храм - Звёздный Храм, rbm Russia. I hate when I click on these cassette only releases. I love this album now, I'd seen it mentioned a couple of places as one of this years best bm albums, so I had to check it out. But I don't mess with cassettes and there's no digital or CD.
Darkthrone - It Beckons Us All....... Norway. Can't believe it took me four months to check out the new Darkthrone. I suppose my enthusiasm for new material has waned since the last couple while not bad albums, they haven't been up to their previous high standards. This one's no different, it's alright, but I'm not excited about it. Second track is a bit better, but man that first track was a 6 and a half minute snoozer.
